Dunno about you, I would notice if my garden hose was on continuously for 5 days... and it's not spouting wastewater.
They have a duty to operate at all times in accordance with good environmental practice. Leaving a tank open for 5 minutes, let alone 5 days, does not seem to meet that standard. This is not some paperwork violation. Pursuing the case criminally sends a very strong and imo correct message to operators.
Even though Tolkien calls the 6 parts "books", he actually considered the work to be one volume of a whole, made up of LOTR + Silmarillion. That was rejected, and LOTR was published as 3 volumes to keep the cost down (e.g. the tendency of people to be willing to pay 3*$5 for three average-size books but not 1*$15 for one large one).
Very much depends on the car. Toyota vehicles need the Toyota computer to do certain brake and alignment work. The OBD mandate only applies to emission-related components.. fuel/air mix, ignition, exhaust. Other stuff accessed via the OBD port can be proprietary.
With the exception of toll free numbers (originally just 1-800.. now 888, 877, 866, 855, and 844 in a few months), everything has geographic area based codes (prefixes are used within area codes).
But this is not the reason why you are charged to receive a mobile call. You are charged to receive a mobile call (unless you have unlimited or in a free period) because you are using the mobile network. If you don't want to pay for that, do not answer the call.
Actually the inspectors were generally allowed to do their jobs. While there were some inconsistencies in records, largely relating to the inability to prove a negative, they really didn't find anything.
But certain leaders in the US and UK did not accept these findings, leading the inspectors to withdraw ahead of hostilities.
It's said that cats cannot taste sweets, but this is pop science distillation of the actual reality. As the article explains, they do taste it, just not through the same mechanism that we do. Nearly every cat owner has anecdotes about their pet liking something sweet.
There seems to be a misconception here. Congress broadly authorized the programs, and the intelligence committees get regular updates. The programs operate under FISC orders, which provides some form of judicial oversight. Either body could shut the programs down. The House did not have the votes to defund a couple weeks ago, extremely unlikely it would have passed the Senate anyway.
So given that these bodies have not shut the programs down, the only logical conclusion to me is that all three branches are OK with it. Yeah, some individual legislators are making hay, and there was one denial from FISC, but as a whole the bodies haven't really used their power to curtail the activities.
This doesn't magically make the programs legal, good, or right.
At this point it's beyond ESPN. You also have Fox, NBC, CBS, NFL, NHL, MLB, NBA, and sometimes a local sports channel (e.g. Comcast Sportsnet). Then there's the more fringy sports channels: golf, tennis, Fox soccer, Fox college, Big 10, universal.. surely I've missed some. On top of that you have the "season pass" deals that the major sports offer. These have online components but afaik all of them prohibit watching a game that is on TV in your market.
There's a Metallica DVD that uses the angle feature on a couple songs, you can choose which band member to watch instead of the director making the call.
When talking about driving, and particularly about penalties, one can rarely use the phrase "in the US". It is handled at the state level and varies widely.
As far as suspensions, due to the necessity of a car in most places in the US, DMVs or courts will provide an allowance so you can drive to work, school, etc. Makes for a big loophole, doesn't really get anyone off the road, and the end result is really just more fines (these special allowances have an administrative cost, and then typically you also have to take a class, and/or carry extra insurance, etc.)
The other day a guy on the phone started to slowly cross the street a couple hundred feet down the road. With normal behavior he would have made it just fine, no one would even have to slow down. But something in his conversation caused him to slow, and then stop right in my lane. I slowed to a crawl and sounded the horn. His immediate reaction was to resume walking... right into the oncoming traffic lane, without looking, where a car was only ~50' away.
He was completely oblivious to the whole thing. Never even looked up.

Under Lend-Lease there was no charge to the UK for materiel. The loan after the war had 2% interest and was repaid in 2006.
Shit analogy. Most drugs do not reproduce themselves.
There's no one in the drone but it's not like it's automated. The unmanned distinction doesn't seem to make a difference.
The US Government would not rule out the use of drones as a tool to prevent imminent harm. This comment got wildly misinterpreted.
" In the UK, anyone calling you pays, after all, why should you pay for them to get in touch with you, you didn't ask them too. "
Don't answer the phone then.
I've never understood the concept of making other people pay because I want the convenience of a portable communication device.

The US, of course, also did not find anything.
It doesn't really matter what is said. Countries are really no different than people. They talk a lot of shit.
Until the US actually responds to a cyber attack with force, it isn't policy.
You seriously believe the taliban would have been provided evidence and would say "oh, you're right, here he is"? Please.
They would never have been satisfied, just like birthers and any other denialist.

"they use it because it's outside of the US and they can argue that normal laws don't apply."
This was an argument by the Bush administration that was rejected by the Court in Rasul (2004) and Boumediene (2008).
The prison is still in use today because Congress blocked Obama's efforts to close it.
Where all is defined as "every game except nationally televised games and those broadcast in your home market", yeah.

Ezra is a male name.
A union is an association of workers, and the right of free association is protected by the First Amendment. Why do you hate freedom?

This happens to drivers of cars frequently as well, but they don't use it as an excuse for noise pollution.

In NJ tired driving is illegal, defined as no sleep >24 hours. Pretty much impossible to enforce unless the driver admits it.
In Arkansas if you have not slept >24 hours and cause a fatal accident, it is negligent homicide.
